Because Sometimes the Best Thing You Can Give Your Kid is an Addiction…To Yarn

Birds, Bees, and Quilting

I just finished piecing a quilt. And no, my suitcase still isn’t unpacked. But it’s not going anywhere either. It’s just sitting there quietly.

It’s a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie’s Quilt Co. Can you tell from the photo what size it is? Actually, it’s only about 31 X 36 inches.

These Schnibbles patterns use little packets of 5 inch squares called charm packs. This pattern used two charm packs. I usually order the charm packs (and lots of other fabric) from Fat Quarter Shop. It’s a fun way to make a quilt using a new line of fabric for about $15. This particular line is Swanky by Chez Moi for Moda Fabric.

If you’re looking for some fun free projects, check out Moda Bake Shop. There are lots of ideas for all of their precut fabrics.

So far today I’ve only done one really stupid thing. I got a call at 1:23 from the office of Frankie’s school. “Um. Mrs H. School had early release today. We were out at 1:05.” Shoot!!! And yes, I was still in my pajamas. Fortunately, we only live a mile from the school.

On the home school front we had a very interesting day. Ms In Charge learned how babies were made. Just a few quotes!

One day I’ll learn how to do more than just rag quilts, but for now they make fun projects to work on with my daughter. We also had a similar conversation recently and she asked the following “Do you go to the hospital for this procedure?”

You lucky duck–test knitter for Susan Pandorf. Great idea to use #6 beads. She had warned it would be too heavy, so of course i used #8s. I am glad that you tried out #6s and the shawl came out okay. Next time I will use the larger-sized beads.
